anfalas 0 Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Let's be honest it's obscene really for a relatively small lump of stainless steel ...........me ol mucker Del Griffith could have bought a few Casio's for that........ Edited November 15, 2016 by anfalas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffrsho 0 Posted November 15, 2016 Absolutely nuts... You have to be just disgusting wealthy to spend that coin on a watch! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeNnY 29 Posted November 15, 2016 Nice looks very nice ! Very nice indeed if you had it to sell! I wonder if these watches were worn or were in safe for most of their life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robsterwebb 12 Posted November 15, 2016 Nice looks very nice ! Very nice indeed if you had it to sell! I wonder if these watches were worn or were in safe for most of their life To be fair, you're average Joe in the street would have no idea between this and any other watch....

jmshen 0 Posted November 15, 2016 Nice looks very nice ! Very nice indeed if you had it to sell! I wonder if these watches were worn or were in safe for most of their life I can't imagine the guy who bought it has any plans on wearing it. It's probably going into the vault of some sheik in the middle east. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WatchaholicMallorca 2 Posted November 15, 2016 Someone needs to tell the cunt that bought it that you never really own a Patek :giggle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted November 15, 2016 I love Patek, I understand the significance of the reference (first ever perpetual calendar chronograph, a complication that would go on to define Patek) and I know how important steel is to Patek collectors for its ironic rarity... but even I think this is ridiculous!

DC Sticking to your cheap fantasy watches eh? Realistically, there are watch collectors that have wealth that means they no longer have a concept of money like normal people. Apparently there was a bidding war. So if you have to have it, you have to have it I guess. I like to think it will be worn by its new owner Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black263 228 Posted November 15, 2016 Showed the picture to Clare, without the price and asked her what she would pay for it. "£50" she said. Ah but this is a genuine watch, not a replica. "Ok, didn't realise that - £350" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GC 4,378 Posted November 15, 2016 The person who bought this must be so out of touch with the real world and all its problems... Sad really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xpletiv 16 Posted November 15, 2016 I'd be happy with a 1/10th of that. The $$$, not the watch. I'd probably end up with a broken link or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
